As someone who loves beets, I suggest you have a beet lover make this dip. That way, you can try a tiny bit of it, and even if you hate it, it won't be wasted! I'll try anything once, if I don't like it, I'll try it a second time, just in case it wasn't prepared correctly the first time! Also, borscht is wonderful!!
That's a chemical that's in beets. Some people have the gene to taste it, some don't. If you do have the gene, you will likely never like beets because they will always taste like dirt to you. It's why it's such a polarizing ingredient.
Greetings from Poland. We use bets in our cuisine quite often. My favourite dish with beets is undoubtedly "botwinka", which is a vegetable soup basing on young beets (the size of raddish) which are chopped up with leaves and stems (plus some carrots, potatoes, served with a hard boiled egg). Tastes heavenly no matter if served hot or cold. Cold is especially refreshing during first hot summer days.
Botwinka is the best! My Polish husband (from Warszawa) loves it too, makes it himself, and taught me to make it, so it is a regular thing in our household. The only thing I don't like is adding the hard boiled egg, since I don't like them to begin with, but they're easy enough to leave out, and the botwinka is just as tasty without them. Dziekuja!
It is for this reason that I've just entirely switched to glass Tupperware. Doesn't get stained by my pasta sauce, chili, tumeric curries, etc. My kitchen towels on the other hand...
I’ve always loved beets. I cook 3 or 4 in the instant pot and eat one immediately with just butter and salt. The rest will get chopped and put in the fridge to add to salads over the next few days. So yummy!
Used to haaaate beats. Then I had a package of some prepared and chilled that tasted so amazing! Pretty much like corn on the cob. Completely changed my outlook.
I love beets, and I especially love golden beets roasted in the oven with a little avocado oil rubbed on, then encased in foil and roasted for about an hour. They are so good!
I'm from Brazil and a common salad here is prepared with potatos, beats and mayo. You just boil the potatos and beets, then peel them, cut them into chunks, add a generous amount of mayo and it's done! It''s good to eat with roasted meats.
You should really try beetroot pachadi, a curry dish from Kerala (South India) its a creamy yogurt based curry that's slightly sweet but not earthy at all and v v easy to make!!
I absolutely adore pickled beets, but just cooked beets are incredibly sweet which often is a bit too much unless well balanced with the other meal parts. I haven't tried sweet muffins with beets but it always seemed to me like beets should work well in cake batter and the like.
@@sarahkleimeyer3792 i looked it up and "Traditional recipes do not use food coloring, with the red color due to non-Dutched, anthocyanin-rich cocoa." Apparently traditional red velvet cake had a maroon color and not a neon red color. I didn't know modern red velvet cakes used dye, because red velvet cakes didn't use to be a thing in my culture when I was young and when I read about it I read about the traditional type. But apparently after my teens (maybe in my early 30s) it had a minor trend wave in my country because of how fun the neon red and cream cheese looks.
I want to love beets but there’s something about the flavour that is completely repulsive to my tastebuds. Similar to how some people react to cilantro, which I happen to love :)
@@Portia620 same here, I don't like cilantro but I will eat salsa with cilantro as long as it is not too much in it. In any other dish, cilantro tastes like crap to me. I know, it sounds weird, but that's me. Oh, and I happen to love beets be it as soup, salad, marinated...😊😮
As someone surrounded by people who can eat beets from a can... I appreciate this I have an iron deficiency and beets is something my doctor's keep telling me to eat but I hate them
I boil them, peel the skin, and cut them in little pieces. I add olive oil, vinegar of Leon juice, salt, pepper and a little bit of fresh oignon and garlic. It's a delicious salad.
The reason many people hate beets is because the ones that come in a can taste tinny. The beets that are pickled in a can do not taste tinny. THANK YOU for the recipe !
I love beets. It is delicious in all dishes. Raw beets marinated in vinegar, stewed beets with carrots and onions, vegetable mix, etc. But I have a special dish for me. This is Borscht. Tasty, spicy, delicious...
I've had beet lovers serve them in a variety of ways 'guaranteed' to change my mind about beets. They didn't. No matter what you do to them, they taste like dirt. They've tasted like dirt to me for 50 years now. Won't be trying this recipe.
@@pomptonqueen the only way I’ve ever had beets where they didn’t taste super earthy was when they were roasted with a fuckton of curry powder. They were good. Not good enough that I want to have them all the time like that, but good enough that I would probably eat them again
I thought I hated beets until last month when my friend's Italian mama roasted them drizzled with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar! Soooo good! Tastes nothing like a canned beet!
That’s how I make them, roasted or sautéed with salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic. Sometimes I prefer to sauté because they cook a bit faster when you can put a lid on the pan to let them steam for about 5 minutes
Brazilian dish with beets: Boil it, peel the skin, cut in cubes or slices, serve with lettuce, tomato, and onion, then mix lemon or vinegar (or both), salt, and olive oil. Enjoy it with BBQ or any dish with rice and viand.
It's weird that the two vegetables I abhorred when I was younger are now my absolute favorites, beets and brussel sprouts. Phenomenal, that's what they are
i love beets, i usually eat them warm, straight out the pot my mom cooks them in. and just like the potatoes, their taste varies. Some are sweeter, some earthier damn i want me some beets now
I made a beet salad this week for lunch. Roasted beets spiced with cumin and cinnamon on a bed of shaved Brussels sprouts and kale, topped with segments of cara cara oranges and a big juicy burrata. Dressed in an orange juice vinaigrette with olive oil and a little beet juice for color! So delicious and beautiful… and a little staining.
Thanks for that new idea! I cook beet in my instant pot for 22 minutes. The skin falls off. I cut them up and freeze them. Later for a quick nutritional drink I use a half cup beet with half cup of pinapple or less, water. One half a lime or just juice. Blend into a smoothie. Yum!
To be honest, I love it as it is after being baked for an hour , just with a pinch of salt, or maybe a few drops of light gourmet vinegar/ vinaigrette. Especially if there’s multiple colors available. Yummy! And there’s barely any calories! Win, win!
This has been a go to for YEARS!!! Luv the root. The color is fantastic and people need to understand that they may be getting beets in their sugar content. Best 👍
Love this recipe. I'd like to try it with the golden beet too! Another way that I enjoy beets are in a watermelon and beet smoothie!! So delicious, earthy, and refreshing. 😋👩🏾🍳👩🏾🌾🍉🌱
You are the best! I so enjoy all your videos; you are practical, economical & a true visionary! Keep up your good work, you have helped me sooo much in the kitchen!👍🏼
We just boil and slice our beets, they are so good(we usually have garden beets that are home grown) just a touch of salt and they are delicious (pickled beets are also really good but we don't pickle things our selves we just keep them in cold storage)
This is the first time that I have all the ingredients for a recipe. I think it's time to use those beets that are sitting in the fridge for as long as I can remember.
I LOVE beets and am delighted to find such a simple recipe!!! I just turned on the oven to start roasting. I had already peeled the skins off, but if I do this again, I'm glad to know a way to remove them after baking. In fact, I enjoy canned beets from the store and dreaded peeling them so much that I never bought them raw. I especially like the in a salad with walnuts and goat cheese with balsamic vinegar. Yum!! Maybe I'll try the dip later on. Bravo!!!
The way i make beets, is to cut it into small cubes, microwave it till barely soft, then sautee. Turmeric and chilli powder to taste. The key is to sautee for like 15 minutes till it goes nice and soft and almost jammy and add the spices for the last couple minutes alone. The turmeric adds an earthy taste that really brings out the sweetness of the beets, the spice adds a nice contrast to the sweetness. It ends up as a jammy, crispy, spicy sweet masterpiece to eat alongside rice. I have converted no less than 8 non beet lovers with this personally.
Just squeeze a lemon/lime over that and you can also add a pinch of salt but just adding lemon changes taste by a lot and I love it.. I think lime/lemon goes well with anything rich in iron bcz I love it in spinach juice too
I was new to a csa in my neck of the woods and every week I’d get my share of the crop and I ended up falling in absolute heavenly love with the humble beet, many types of beets and I found that roasting them was the most delicious way to prepare them. Most veggies are great roasted.
My favourite beet recipe is a very simple salad: diced cooked beets, diced Granny Smith apples 🍏 (not peeled) and chopped green onions in a simple oil and vinegar dressing with garlic. Serve chilled. Very refreshing on a hot day.
I'm marred by my mother (long ago. I'm 70 now) made me sit at table til I ate all that was on my plate! I was gagging etc, I am willing to give this a try! Thank you, much! 😂❤
As someone who hates beets, I appreciate a recipe that might be enjoyable. But as someone who hates beets, I can tell you I'm not going to try this 😂
Try Eastern European beets soup then. It's also called borscht or barszcz depending on where you want it from.
Lol
As the other guy here said, try borsht ( boršč where I'm from) It is delicious and not very beety even though there's plenty of beets.
I concur

I think the problem is that some beets can taste veeery earthy. It all depends on that taste.
Exactly. I’ve never had one that didn’t taste like dirt.
@@kt9495I was gonna say the same thing!
That's a chemical that's in beets. Some people have the gene to taste it, some don't. If you do have the gene, you will likely never like beets because they will always taste like dirt to you. It's why it's such a polarizing ingredient.
I've heard mushrooms described as "earthy" too, but I adore them. The problem is that beets just taste like beets 🤢. 😉
@@kaituub I don’t like mushrooms either 🤷♀️
I love them cooked, raw shredded, raw blended in juice, just anything!
Pickled are the best
You need therapy.
After baking them, marinate them in vinegar, and throw some horseradish root in there if you want. Best pickles ever.
My grandmother used to make these. Spicy, sour and still taste like dirt.
"Khryan" - a Russian dish.
@@angrytedtalks yeah it's delicious. I thought it was Polish.
I love beets with feta, rucola, pumpkin seeds and some lime juice. Very basic salad but very tasty
sounds great
it’s absolutely delicious (I don’t like beet alone)

Polish from Canada. Thanks for your comment. People just don't know what's good. Barszcz z uszkami! Wesolych Swiat!
Sounds like something I would love!!! I love Borsht too.!!!
I love beets, and I love this comment section for presenting me with so many new ways to try eating them. Thanks y’all!
One of my favourite vegetable. Love beets salad especially when it has a bit of horseradish and ginger.
The only thing is that nothing that touches those beets will ever return to its original color, if you have clear Tupperware then it’s red forever now
Put cling film in
@@hermiona1147 I think you’re onto something
You can remove the stains but it takes a long time, making it not worth doing. I'm talking like a month.

Sure ... red velvet cake from scratch is colored with beets.
@@sarahkleimeyer3792 ...i was under the impression that red velvet cake had no beets, the color coming from an chemical reaction with the cocoa.

My family came from Hungary, and we had Borscht a lot. Cheap, easy and nutritious. Use the tops, more vitamins than the roots!
I want to love beets but there’s something about the flavour that is completely repulsive to my tastebuds. Similar to how some people react to cilantro, which I happen to love :)
You mean the dirt flavor?😅🤣😂
Exactly
It tastes like mud 😅

I am a big fan of ALL your work. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for everything you do/ post ☺️
If you want to change the colour of your utensils forever, pick these up next time you’re at the market.
This is my favorite thing to do. 😂 I also enjoy the particular shade of yellow my utensils turn when I make anything with turmeric.
Use metal then 🤦♀️
Metal or disposable utensils? I have some black utensil that have never showed a stain.
I LOVE beets! Definitely going to try this
I love beets! The beet greens are wonderful too!
They say they’re post to be a super nutritious

It's a genetic trait (whether someone has or doesn't have an affinity to beets).
I remember eating beets in a potato salad, the color and taste is delicious
I am going to try that. Thanks for the idea.

balsamic vinegar and roast the garlic with the beets. Its amazing. Try to add balsamic!!

In poland EVERYONE loves beetroots, it is like national duty
I love beets any kind of way! I forgot that I had some so thanks for reminding me! I can eat them right out the can😅
In Australia we say, you can beat an egg, but you can't beat a root

Made beet patties once by grating them raw and mixing with flour and some chickpeas and other ingredients, it was freakin delish
Even in a recipe called "how to cook one clove of garlic", use two.
Never been a fan of beets, but Dr recommends including them in my diet to help regulate my BP...always grateful for new recipes to try!

Thank's verry much!!👈Super!!!!👍🤗👏💖🙋♀️ ...from Timishoara city, Roumania....

I love beets!!! But I like to add apple cider vinegar and spices like Cinnamon, cloves and half a dozen other things.
Beets are so good for people. Full of nitrite oxide which helps to lower blood pressure as dilates blood vessels.
My favourite beet recipe is a very simple salad: diced cooked beets, diced Granny Smith apples 🍏 (not peeled) and chopped green onions in a simple oil and vinegar dressing with garlic. Serve chilled. Very refreshing on a hot day.
Beets are a learning project for gardeners. Just grow a very few every year until you get the process down. Then grow a ton.
in my country we eat mainly pickled beats...and we looooove them :)
Beets are really pair well with garlic
I’m getting real strong Dwight Schrute vibes from this dude
Making this now! Thanks for the recipe
I enjoy beets when they're hot, tender, and smothered in butter, salt and pepper.
This turned out amazingly! I added extra walnuts and yogurt, and I think I found my new favorite color! Thanks for sharing 👩🏽🍳
very good going with beets is... horseradish... yummy...
add a bit to that dip mixture... 💪👍💥

Beetroot Gnocchi is delicious too =)
